African genet hunting is done by spot and stalk methods. Genet hunting is often a game of opportunity while hunting other species and is usually done with a spotlight. Somerby Safaris specializes in night hunting and while hunting genet in Africa you will have the experience of a life time. Our hunting areas are rich with wildlife and our professional hunters have years of night hunting experience in hunting African genet.
The African Genet looks like a cat with an elongated snout. It is, however, not a cat but is more closely related to a mongoose. The genet has a spotted coat, long, banded tail, small head, and large ears. Their tails are longer than their bodies. Adult genets can weigh up to 6.6 pounds, and their bodies range between 17 to 23 inches long.
They prefer to live in habitats with dense vegetation such as bushes, thickets and forests.
Due to their small stature, a good caliber to use when hunting African genet is a .223 caliber or any .22 caliber rifle with a solid bullet.
Set your crosshairs on the center of the trophy genet’s chest.

Have hunted Africa 6 times – First 5 with other outfitters and first one with one with Somerby; 6th Safari beats the first 5, Somerby is the best!
Absolutely one of the best hunting experiences of my life. For anyone looking to book a serious African safari, do not hesitate to contact Somerby!
It’s not just the doing of a thing, but how one does a thing that at the dusk of memory takes one back to the sharp moment of action and then a whiskey and a fire shared with a trusted PH ... that is the true and the beautiful essence of “Safari,” at least for me.
